Castor, Camber and Tracking Values?
Gonna set my wheels up for SVA and beyond this weekend.
Any suggestions as to the values?
I know I need some toe out for SVA for self centering, but that's easy to change afterwards.
BEC by the way!

As a guide:
0.5 degree toe in on rears overall (0.25 each)
1 degree toe in on fronts overall
0.25-0.5 degrees of negative camber on all all 4 wheels.

Cheers.
Can't really do much with the back being a live axle - it'll just get dragged along!

Important to make sure that th rear axle is straight though and both wheels are pointing forward. Check the wheel base (centre to centre) on both
sides of the car too.
Have you got adjustable trailing links?

Shame about no toe on the rears.
I used to experiment with toe in on my imp when I raced.
Zero toe meant less drag on the straights but was slightly quicker and wandered easily, whereas toe in kept the car stable.
A little toe in on a road car makes steering input a bit more relaxed as the car will drive straight.
